The End … or close enough.

posted in Cancer Sucks! on 06/06/05 at 10:06 PM

I wish there was some way that I could explain to you just how happy I am today. Why am I so happy, you ask? Well, today was my last External Radiation treatment! No more demerol, seizures, catheters, anal markers, or the pain from the damn packing. Now I will get about 1 week off to relax and recover before I have to see another doctor, AND celebrate the fact that I made it this far. Then I will probably have a CT Scan and a PET Scan to check on the cancer to see if it is gone or what. If it is gone then i’ll just have to have a pelvic exam every month or so to monitor me. If it is NOT quite gone then I will have surgery to FINALLY remove the shit. It’s about damn time i’m free of this crap. CANCER SUX! ;)

It was such an emotional day today. Monica, my nurse, hugged me and told me that she is so glad that i’m almost done with tears running down her face and I hugged her back and thanked her for helping to save my life, with tears running dowm my face. =] How DO you thank someone for helping you survive??? I wish I knew. Because of her and everyone there I finally feel like I can see the end of the tunnel. I don’t feel so lost or swallowed up anymore. I ALMOST have my life back and I am going to enjoy every second of it and live like there is no tomorrow. I am going to tell every person that I care about just how much I love and cherish them. I’m going to thank every person that was here for me for all of their love and support. The person I want to thank the MOST is my husband. Without him I truly think that I would not have made it through this. I love you cutie! Kusse!

I’m honored to be the one to take care of you, baby! I hate that you had to go through this, but since you did, I was happy to be the one for you to lean on. You can always count on me.

And, I think you meant INTERNAL treatments this time ;)

[...] like to say that it has absolutely made my day to learn that a new friend, Chrispian, and his wife Aeryn are celebrating the end of Aeryn’s current cancer treatment! [...]

Congratulations you guys, it actually made me cry while I was writing this post.

Best,

Sorry for the bad link above…the comment system seems to have truncated the URL (it chopped off the "l" at the end of "html")

YAY! I’m glad you’re almost done! Not that it was ever an issue, but it seems to have really brought you two together even more if that’s possible! Go Aeryn.

Aeryn (& Chris) I had no idea about all of this going on (why would I?) but just wanted you to know that I’m rooting for you. I’ve been there and done that and my survivors tee-shirt still looks pretty good…I just know you’ll great in yours Aeryn.
Take care
Mia
